[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Good afternoon Kevin,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2] [FONT=Arial]I do hope you had a good weekend . That would make yours much better than mine.

[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I am reading this invoice with the big yellow sticker stating " Our goal is for you to be COMPLETELY SATISFIED "

[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]The answer is I am not . I am actually so irritated that I refrained from calling you Saturday knowing I would blow up [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]over the condition my [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Certified Pre Owned BMW was returned to me.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]As you already know this has been an ongoing item . The most recent being a few squirts of cleaning fluid in the parking lot to correct [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]the steering [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]wheel controls weeks ago [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]for which I had requested repairs on prior. You stated "we can spray the contacts and get you out of here". [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]The squirts of contact cleaner TOTALLY stopped all operation of the steering wheel controls Kevin. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]A major concern. The next day after the contact cleaner my rear view mirror is leaking some [/FONT][FONT=Arial]unknown green fluid into my [/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]11 year old daughters drink. My daughter grabbed her drink and tosses it out as she and I immediately attempt to stop the car and run to try and find towels [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]only to find when we get back, the fluid has eaten through the shifter boot, The cup holder has been scared and there is corrosive greenish liquid, melted black rubber[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]and who knows what else all around, In and Under the console as well as on the arm rest and carpet.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Kevin, I know you speak with a lot of people but you should have notes when I called about all these items. I do. [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Back to Lauderdale BMW I come and I not only have the original problems but I now have another. [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]A Rear view mirror that has never been a issue [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]is [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]draining a plastic, rubber, carpet and it seems anything it contacts eating fluid that I have been told [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]is a [FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]electrolyte comprising redox reaction promoters [/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Arial]and strong alkali[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial]. [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]"That would explain why the fluid was eating everything it touched including our skin when we tried to clean it up."[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]My car was now in your possession . I received your call and I was understanding that the [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]wrong steering wheel controls had been ordered and that it [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]would be a few more days. I believed that the extra time would allow Lauderdale BMW [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]to perform the other CPO warranty items . [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]After all , You were at a stalemate [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]waiting on parts! You had plenty of time to (1) r[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]epair the mirror, (2) correct the defective trim and (3) correct the rust spot that [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]has now [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]come through the bubble I had reported before. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Amazingly enough at this point we are going even further downhill Kevin, I received your call Friday afternoon of May 26, 2009 that it is done .[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]My car was shown as "promised back May 20, 2009 " I agree to pick it up the following morning. The car is brought out after 25 minutes[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]wet from a car wash the tires are cleaned but the right rear tire looks like it is nearly flat. Kevin, That was when you told me it was a screw and that you were going to [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]plug it and pointed out that you usually charge $50.00 to plug a tire but not this time. I am getting more and more uncomfortable about the service if a flat tire could not [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]be noticed when that exact tire was sprayed with some tire shiner of some sort after it was cleaned. The car was in Lauderdale BMW's possession for over 10 days[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]and I had a screw in my tire causing it to go flat as I watched that morning. Then Kevin, You hand me a piece of paper and want me to now take it to your body shop[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]to get the paint bubble turned rust spot fixed. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]That is the end of the line . Why wasn't that done when it sat at your repair facility for days waiting on parts.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Why did you mention it might be 3 days to repair the paint issue when I dropped it off but then you did not have the work performed Kevin ?[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I am attaching photos that show the other chaos I am enduring. Scratches all over the tray cover . The tinting on the passenger window has three scratches .[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Did someone break into your storage lot and vandalize cars or do you have repair people that don't know how to remove trays correctly without [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]scaring them up or the sense to remove tools from their waist or back pocket when working around tinted glass. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Regarding you goal that I receive the best service . [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I DIDN'T and my friends and neighbors were fortunate to get a laugh out of that. I assume my clientele [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]will feel the same. I have had a new car [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]every 3 years for the [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]past 14 years. This time I broke from the norm to go with a Lauderdale BMW CPO and have received the worst service ever.
